WAGON ELEVATOR AND DUMP.

SPECIPTCATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 366,399, dated July 12,1887.

Application filed February 18, 1837. Serial No. 228,104.

To (LZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MoREIs KALLENBAUII,

of the town of Boody, county of Macon, and

State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Elevator and Dump, of which the following is a specification.

My device,while applicable to a variety of uses, is especially designed for cribbing corn; and the novelty consists in certain details of construction and combinations of parts, as hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side view of my device with a wagon on the foot of the elevator. Fig. 2 is a section of the dump-track on broken line :r, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section of the elevator-track on broken line I, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is aside elevation'of my device with a wagon on the dump. Fig. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of the pulley that connects with the wagon. Fig. 6 represents a runner that is used in moving the de vice sidewise along a erib,or from one crib to another; and Fig. 7 is a longitudinal vertical section of a dump-rail.

The elevator-track consists of two parallel inclined rails, a, composed each of a tread; rail, a", and flanges a a.

The dump is formed of two parallel rails, b, pivotally supported and ordinarily resting in alignment with the rails of the elevator-track. Each rail 2) is composed of a tread-rail, Z), and flanges b I), projecting both above and below the tread-rail. The tread-rails of the dump track do not reach the upper end of the dump, (see Fig. 7,) and an adjustable clamp, e, is connected with and extends across the upper end of each rail. Supports 9 provide a pivotal support for the (lump. Supports y sus' tain the elevator-track. Cross-bars h and Z are braces,-and it" sills for the supportingframe. Bar 8 connects the dump-rails at their upper ends. Strips c extend from g to g in line with the lower surface of the elevatortrack, and form guides to hold the dump in alignment with the elevator. Arm f is pivotally attached to the strips 0 at m, and a pulley or pulleys, 0, are secured to the upper end thereof. Bars (Z terminate the tilt of the dump, as indicated in Fig. 4-. A. rope, q, extends from the pulley a on the wagon around.

a pulley 0 back to or, around another pulley 0, and down to and around pulley 1), giving a force at the termination of the rope a threefold purchase on the wagon.

The hooks n in Fig. 5 connect with the tongue-bolt of the wagon on opposite sides of the tongue. The band a fits over the tongue, and the ring n provides an attachment for the rope.

A. rope, r, connects with the dump below its pivot, and provides means for righting said dump. A hitch-pin, It, enables the wagon to be lowered slowly by coiling the rope around the pin. an extent sufficient to arrest the upward throw of arm 1'', and said arm rests, ordinarily, on bar 3. Sill z is curved at its ends to form a runner, and by placing runner t under sill t" the lower end of the elevator-track is raised clear of the ground, and the device is in condition to be moved sidewise on the runners. The up ward projections a lit against the sides ofthesill and prevent lateral displacement ofthe runner.

In operation a loaded wagon is hauled to the foot of the elevator, the doubletree is detached from the tongue, and the pulley n connected therewith. The team is driven to the side of the elevator and hitched to rope q. The wagon is raised to about the position shown in Fig. 1, the front eudgate is removed, and the wagon drawn up the incline until the front wheels are in the slots of the dump, (indicated by b in Fig. 7.) Then, if there is no restraint on the dump,thc wagon will tilt forward; but if the rope 1- is secured to the frame, as indicated in Fig. 1, the wagon will maintain its position after the team is detached, and the dump may be effected in any desired manner by a manipulation of rope 1'. The arm f descends with the dump, thus facilitating the operation, and rises with the same to carry its pulleys in proper position to draw the wagon up the incline.

A crib is supposed to be in position to re ceive the corn from the wagon; but it is obvious that a car or other receptacle may take the place of the crib, and that the wagon may contain other commodities than corn, the result in either case being the easy accomplish ment by horse-power of that which is usually done by manual labor.

The pivot-pins 12 extend inwardly to 2. In combination, the inclined elevator. track, the pivotal dump resting, ordinarily, in line with the elevator-track, the pulley-bearing arm pivoted in the supporting-frame and projected beyond the upper termination of the 'dump, and the stop-frame to limit the tilt of the dump, as and for the purpose set forth.

3. In combination, the track a, supported by uprights g, thedump-railsb, pivotally sup ported by upright g and provided with downwardly-projecting flanges, strips 0, adapted to the flanges of the dump-rails, clamps s on, the upper ends of the'dump-rails, pulley-bearing arm f, pivotallyoonnected with the frame and projected beyond the upper termination of the dump, pulley p at the bottom of the frame,

pulley n,- adapted to be oonnectedto a wagon,

elevating-rope q, stop-frame d, and tilting-rope r, as and for the purpose set forth.

4. The pulley n, band n, hooks n" n", and ring 11/, all in combination, for the purpose set forth.

p 5. The pulley n, band n, and the hooks n n, all in combination, for the purpose set forth.
